NOTES ON MY BOOKS

First edition. Limited edition, signed by the author. American issue. Publisher's original white and blue paper covered boards, titles and illustration in gilt to the upper board, titles in gilt to the spine. Lacking the dustwrapper. Deckled edges. A very good copy, the binding square and firm with a little bumping to the spine tips and fraying to the corners. The boards toned at the edges with a small moisture mark at the base of the spine. The contents, a little spotted to the endpapers, are otherwise clean throughout and without previous owner's marks.

Issued in a limited edition of 250 copies for America (there were also 250 copies issued by Heinemann for the UK market), this example numbered 121 and signed by Joseph Conrad in blue ink on the limitation page.
